You are invited to nominate a colleague for the Academic Senate Faculty
Research Lecturer Award. Nominations must be accompanied by a letter
that makes the argument for the nomination. It is critical that the
statement fully documents the nominee’s:

· field of knowledge

· important research contributions and where the contributions stand in
relationship to his or her peers and discipline(s); where possible,
please identify specific papers, books, or treatises that epitomize the
nominee’s contribution

The nominating letter should conclude with a brief (two or three
sentence) statement encapsulating why the nominee should receive the
award.

The Academic Senate Faculty Research Lecturer Award recognizes
colleagues whose research has made a significant contribution to the
advancement of knowledge. Each year the Senate selects two members of
the faculty to receive this prestigious award, one from the Arts,
Humanities, or Social Sciences, and one from the Sciences. Each
recipient is asked to present a lecture on a topic of his or her choice,
is honored by the faculty with a reception prior to the lecture, and
receives a $1,500 honorarium.

The Committee on Senate Awards is charged with recommending the award
recipients to the Representative Assembly. We ask you to forward your
nominations to Ashley Welch, Academic Senate Office, via email
(awelch@ucsd.edu) by the extended due date: April 18, 2014.
